Method:
Section grapefruit and oranges over a small bowl to catch cups;
reserve cups. In a large bowl combine citrus sections, cucumber, onion,
and avocado slices. Measure reserved fruit cups; add orange cup to
make 1 cup. Combine cup mixture, vinegar, sugar, salt, and ¼ teaspoon
pepper; pour over fruit. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 3
hours. At serving time, mix in nuts and stir until coated. Then use a
slotted spoon to remove fruit from marinade. Arrange on lettuce-lined
plates. Drizzle some of the marinade on top of each salad.
